Since the first time my parents-in-law mentioned about this place, we had been longing to go and try the noodles. Since it is a 3 days weekend and my in-laws had retire, we got more times to visit here and there in Alor Setar.

Well, the restaurant is located off Jalan Putra (the famous road in Alor Setar. :P), just opposite the Star City Hotel.

The outlook of the restaurant.

The good things about this restaurant is that they have a really nice and clear menu on the wall. It is not too many dishes offered until your eyes go blind and take half an hour just to finish the menu and decide what to eat (like the Kim Gary menu. :P).

As for the price, it is a bit steep compare with other stalls/restaurant in Alor Setar, but you'll know why later.

The types of noodles offered is quite a lot. Since it was the first time I visit this place, it is a bit hard to decide what to eat. So, after get some suggestion from the in-laws, we all choose our own noodle's type.

I chose the "dried curry noodle", it comes with some vege, char siew and half prawns (it looks like 1 whole prawn, but it is actually slice into half)

The wantan comes with the noodles, it is a small bowl with 2 wantans inside.

My mom-in-laws chose the "chicken noodle with mushroom", it was mistaken as my wife's choice and she actually ate a few mouthful before realized it. Then, only pass it back to my mom-in-laws. :P

The wantan comes with the noodle.

My wife's choice..."B.B.Q. noodle with mushroom", it is actually B.B.Q pork (叉烧) with some mushroom and the half prawns noodle. The price is higher but the portion is bigger as well. It taste good, try it out if you visit this place.

My father-in-law chose "chicken leg noodle with mushroom". The ingredients and the taste is almost the same as the one my wife's ordered, except that the char siew and prawns become chicken leg. Judge by the portion of the chicken leg, it is pretty worth to order this.

The extra order, wantan soup. There are quite a lots of wantan in it...

Talk about the choice of drinks, it is not a lot. So, end up I ordered hot Milo...

It has been sometime since we visit Wong Kok Restaurant. Since we were in QBM and don't really know what to eat for lunch, we decided to go for this Hong Kong style restaurant again.

Well, it is not as good as Boston or Kim Gary, but it has its own good stuff to eat. I'm eager to try their other stuff (since I always ordered the roasted duck noodle only). This time we ordered:1. Fried Chicken Toast (香炸澳门鸡多士) - RM6.002. Butter Bun (旺角菠萝油) - RM 1.50x23. Dumpling Noodle (凤城水饺面) - RM8.304. Roasted Duck Noodle (明炉烧鸭面) - RM7.605. Fresh Soya Milk (清凉豆浆水) - RM3.006. Ice Water (冰水) - RM0.60

Utensils for the meal...

Soya bean milk, nothing to shout about, just normal, cold soya bean milk. For the size, I'll say that it is a bit over price for RM3.00.

Dumpling noodle's full view. The noodle is quite a lot and feel full after finish it up. The dumpling is just so so and not so great. It has a special taste and it will be either you will love it or hate it.I don't really like the taste. :P

Roasted duck noodle, my all times favourite...

Fried chicken toast. There is no fried chicken. It is actually a fried toast with chicken filled inside. There is also cheese filled inside the toast pocket.

Well, there is no photo of the butter bun since we ask for take away from the start and finish it up in the car (forgot to take photo, too happy to eat it). The butter bun is something you should not miss if you really like buttery food. The bun is actually filled with butter with one coat of sugar and butter on top and baked to a nice golden yellowish color. This will be my all times favourite to eat from Wong Kon Restaurant. :P
